Popis: We present an anatomopathologic study of a case of partial fusion of the mamillary bodies in a 57-year-old man with no neurologic or neuropsychiatric change. Medial nuclei were fused. Remaining nuclei and afferent and efferent connections were preserved. The comparison of this case with other similar malformations suggests the possibility of disturbances in certain morphogenetic phases of these structures.
